  Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
service of our brave men and women for Armed Forces Day, May 17, 2025. 
Armed Forces Day is a 75-year tradition to thank all of those who are 
currently serving, as well as those who have served and sacrificed to 
defend our freedom. It is because of their duty, honor, and courage 
that the United States of America remains free today.
  This Saturday, the Western New York Armed Forces Committee will honor 
eleven service men and women to be honored at its 62nd Military Ball, 
and it is my honor to include in the Record their names as a tribute to 
their service, and the service of their brothers and sisters in arms:

       LS1 Anthony Taylor--United States Navy Reserve.

  Western New York and the Southern Tier are home to many proud service 
members and veterans, and our community has a long and proud tradition 
of military service. It is my honor to recognize their bravery. On 
behalf of the United States Congress and the constituents of New York's 
23rd Congressional District, I thank these men and women for their 
service and all those who continue to serve with them.
